AI AX 24” 6mm CM with Leica PRS.
I purchased this rifle from Mile High a few months ago.
I was deciding between a Leupold Mk4 and an S&B but learned that Leica had entered the PRS game with a 5-30 scope.
A quick call to my Leica supplier, CameraLand, also good guys, Joel and Doug, had the reticle I wanted in stock and off it was shipped. One brother does Sport Optics and one does Cameras. Damned if I can keep them apart!
The reticle is a simple cross hairs with lighted dot.
I’m not ready for Mils and MOA.
Mostly everyone uses Sphur mounts and so Mile High sent me the appropriate mount.
Ammo came from the Group buy from Prime Ammo, 2000 rnds of 6cm 115 Match.

Today I bore sighted at 25 yds and brought the cross hairs to the general center of the target, inserted the bolt, cartridge and boom.
Right on target, easy peasy.
Out to 100 but found I had not dialed in enough drop and so back to 25 yd and then 50yd, one shot each.
BINGO.
For me the Leica scope has a narrow eye box and my cataracts don’t help.
The lighted ‘pip’ was a great help.
Typical group at 100 yds is shown.
We blew through a box of 20 in a short time.
Expensive shooting.
Rifle/scope is about 15#’s, so no recoil, like shooting a 22lr.
I need to get my prints rolled again to order a ThunderBeast.
I do have two SIG 5.56 suppressors but am reluctant to shoot the 6mm without any guidance from SIG.
An Area 419 brake is on in the meantime.
The trigger is a two stage and once you get to the second stage, there is absolutely no creep and about 2-3 #’s.
Best trigger of any center fire rifle I have owned or shot.
Next is 300 yds-Dick
BTW, that is not a magazine in the rifle but a ‘Sled’, allows for inserting a round through the loading port rather than inserting a loaded magazine.

I have to thank this forum and the users for all the information I gleaned to help make this purchase possible and to actually be able to punch some paper.-Richard

Back in stock at MHSA. You are welcome.



 
Have you checked with Whidden on the .408 dies? If they are out of stock, I know PTG just had a big sale on their .408 dies. They had a ton of them in stock. A couple guys we shoot with got them from there. Also, Cutting edge has the 425 or 450 grain lazers in stock now too. They shoot awesome in my friends shadows. Hope that helps!

My wandering mind would love to see an AXSR with forend removed and Atlas bipod attached to the short arca section in front of the mag-well. Would love to know the weight of that thing is in that configuration, especially with a proof barrel installed. Just wondering what the absolute lightest configuration is, and how functional it might look! Thanks to anyone who actually does this!
 
@samb300 , is that chassis all machined aluminum? if so, you probably arent going to sell many up north because of the cold. I hope it has some type of skin because i love the looks of it.
Yes, it’s 7075 aluminum. The grip section uses the factory AI plastic grip panels, but yes the entire forend is aluminum like an ACC or MPA.

Hey all. Would anyone with an AXSR be willing to post pics of their 300WM bolt face? I am trying to figure out if the AXSR has the same notch on the 300WM and 300/338NM bolt that the ASR has on its 300NM/338NM bolt . It’s a little tab that protrudes to keep you from inserting a 308 barrel with the 300NM/338NM bolt.

I’m having a 300 PRC barrel done and I’m not sure what the AXSR 300WM bolt looks like.

Thanks.
 
Has anyone gotten a 300 WM AXSR yet? I don't think they are out yet.
Been waiting for several months now for a FDE 300WM. Was told the 300WMs would ship nlt August per Scott When he posted in the other thread. Last time I checked with them, they told me end of 3rd quarter. I’ve only seen the ES versions available at Euro Optic. I am hoping any day now. This wait is brutal. 😬
 
Ok I thought the 300WM was out already. I’m really curious to see if the 300WM barrel has this thing. Does anyone with a 300NM AXSR wanna check and see if their bolt has this please? See the yellow circled notch on this ASR 300NM bolt.

As explained to me when I bought my ASR, the notch is part of the ASR submission/requirements. AI did not carry it over to the AXSR.

If you are curious about running a 300wm bolt in a ASR, why don’t you call Mile High and ask. If anyone knows at this point, they would be the ones.
 
Thanks Bullet. So an interesting note that the ASR bolt and barrels are different from the AXSR bolt and barrels and not directly interchangeable. I know the 308 bolt in the ASR kit works great with AXMC 308 caliber barrels. I wonder if that notch to prevent a 308 barrel with a 300NM bolt was part of the SOCOM spec since AI didn’t carry it over to the AXSR.

Edit: I didn’t see BEJ762s post. Thanks. I guess I’ll hold off on the 300PRC barrel order until the 300WM size bolts are out and I can confirm what’s needed.
 
@Movistar come on man. I gave you this info weeks ago lol
Dude you’re high haha. We did talk about the breech of the 300NM but I want to know about 300PRC. But it’s reasonable to assume if the AXSR 300NM bolt doesn’t have the tab that the 300WM bolt won’t have one either. I don’t know why I want a 300PRC so bad when I have 300NM. Guess I like variety.

Now we just need AI to drop those bolts on all of us.

lol. Yeah well, anything on the ASR rifle was part of the solicitation. You won't have to worry about that part on any bolts moving forward as it won't transfer over to the AXSR's. So you can order a 300PRC Barrel now.

I did have 2 buddies at the NF ELR Match pushing Factory 225gr Hornady ammo out of their PRC, the same speed I was pushing the 220gr Bergers lol.

Obviously I could push the 220gr harder, just didn't feel the need to... I didn't do too bad at the match anyhow LOL
 
Not sure how you did but some dude named Jorge kicked ass and got a sick MRAD for his troubles.

;)

In an unrelated note, anyone got any reason to think the AI flat trigger shoe won’t work on the ASR? I love flat shoes but I’m very impressed by the grip and grooves of the factory ASR trigger.

See said grooves:
